In what can be called a shocking decision, Joe Root has stepped down as England Test captain with immediate effect. Root’s decision came on the back of England’s horror run in the longest format of the game. While the right-handed batter has been phenomenal with the bat lately, the Three Lions have won just one of their last 17 Tests so far and this includes Test series defeats against Australia, West Indies, and New Zealand.
